For the last decade I have been dieting. I could never lose the last few pounds. But that's all changed. I've been on the raw food diet for 6 weeks. Not only did I lose 15 pounds in 3, 6" on my tummy in 6, but I've almost recovered from chronic fatigue. (My energy, sleep, digestion are recovered,but I still have a sinus infection. The immune system takes a long time to rebuild.) My face doesn't look 10 years older anymore. I see a glimmer of my young self again. My skin glows, my eyes look bigger and brighter, my cheekbones are back (because my face is no longer puffy), my teeth are re-mineralizing, and my hair is finally growing thick again. Yay!! And I can wear belts again! (I was looking allittle sausagey). I wrote about my experience with the raw food diet on my blog. This has been the best diet ever! Because it's not about losing weight, which of course will happen but it's not the biggest benefit. The greatest thing about it is it gives your body the raw materials to build your most healthy, young body and face ever.
